In a drunken stupor in the morning
There was a place to stop spinning
When the pursuit of happiness
Became a running joke
A hamster wheel with no stop over
On the day a whole new world dawned
Even when it's time extinction was to sanctioned
There was misery and joy
In unfathomable measures
There were careless risks and their consequences
Equally there were careful ones too
There were tears and sobs... hearty laughter too
Then the path directions that were changed
Inebriation was kicked to the curb
Friendships died because the walls in the Little room were too quiet
None were lost because they talked
Thank heavens they hold their tongue.
